After RobbIng Prominent Irish Nation
aiist in this City.

When the case of the People against
last Friday, the defendant failed to appear;
and Prosecutor Joseph M. Noonan for
feited his bail. The crime for which Wood
ford was to have been tried was robbing
a sum of money aud some jewelry from
OCleary, prominent Irish Nationalist
from over the sea. Woodford at one time
did large and profitable business in his
profession as civil engineer. He is
member of very prominent ia nlly and in
former years enjoyed considerable wealth
But he formed taste for strong drink and
became irregular ID his habits. His wealth
soon became exhausted, and he began to
lead rowing life. In his travels in
New York he met Mr.. O'Cleary,
OCleary has plenty money and Woodford
escorted him about the Metropolis.
OCleary was stopping at Taylor's Hotel,
and after several days travel with Wood
ford he left Woodford and came over to
the hotel. He requested Mr.. De Revere
the proprietor, to let him have $500 which
he had deposited in the hotel safe. and he
took it to his room. Woodford entered the
hotel shortly afterwards and went to
O'Clearys room, where he remained for
some time. When he came down stairs he
said he found O'Cleary asleep. Asked by
enc of the clerks his reason for remaining
so long, he answered that he had been
reading newspaper He then left the
hotel. O'C' Try. when he awoke, found
that his 500, and his watch and jewelry
were missing. Suspicion was at once
directed against Woodford. He was ar
rested in this city few days afterwards
and some of the stolen jewelry was found
in his possession. He was indicted for the
offense and held to bail, and this was for
feited last Friday when he failed to appear
for trial. Woodford is now believed to be
in South Africa.

PRAISE FOR THE C4PEAIy.
An Incident of the Late Voyage of the p.
Callanu.

The steamship P Calland, of the Rotter-
dam Line, which collided with the German
bark Priscilla on the morning of April oath,
arrived in tie stream Friday, W here she re-
manned over night. She arrived at her
dock yesterday. A News reporter in
tertiewed Capt. F. H Bonjer in reference
to the collision. He said that it did not in
jure the Caland in any way tointerfere with
her trip, and the majority o. the passengers,
who were asleep at the time of the occur
renee, did not even know that collision
had taken place. As an evidence of its
lack of danger, fifty-eight cabin passengers
signed and presented to the captain ceIti-
fcate, of which the following is copy:
We, the undersigned passengers on
the S. s ;, p Calland of the Rotterdam Line,
hereby express our sincere thanks to Capt.
f. II. Bonjer for the care and courtesy
shown us during our pleasant trip of twelve
and half days from Rotterdam to New
York. In the EnglIsh Channel we were
run into by sailing vessel, but owing to
the strick discipline always main tanned on
board, and the efficiency of the captain and
his officers, there was no panic, not even the
slightest confusion. At this, the time of
siguipg, good fellowship and order still
prevail, and we shall ever cherish with
pleasure our run across the Atlantic on the
good ship Calland.
The certificate was presented on the
9th of this month.

Over Law nndOrder.

NEWARK, May The Democratic
the Republican members of the COY
were alike surprised last night when M
Haynes sent communication to the
dermen announcing that William A.
ley had resigned as Police Commissioner
and appointing ex-Alderman Oseeola Cur
rier ia his stead. Mr.. Currier was defeated
two years ago by Mr.. Haynes, when they
both ran for Mayor. They confirmed Mr..
Currier without the slightest hesitation.
When Mayor Haynes was ASKED why Mr..
Ripley had resigned he referred the report
er to the ex-Com missioner himself.
Mr.. Ripley explained this morning that
the cause OF his resignation from the Po-
lice Board was that he could not attend to
the duties OF y Police Commissioner and
attend to his own business at the same
time He denied that airy bad feeling ex-
listed between him and any members of the
Board. He also denied the report that he
had resigned from the Board because the
other Commissioners opposed hin on the
Sunday law and other questions.

Freeing a Mau from Soubrette Who
Had Roped Him In.

Freeing a Man from Soubretfe Who
Had Roped Him In,
Robert Keren, whom his friends famil-
iarly call sB 3D. the desk CLERK at Taylor's
Hotel, was an important witness in a di-
voree suit tried yesterday before Judge Pat
terson in the New York Supreme Court.
Some time ago, pretty soubrette engaged
in one of the theatres in New York, roped
in Jerome Stiver5, the son of wealthy
Westchester carriage manufacturer. They
went to living together, and it is said that
Stiyers ''blew in" $4,000 on her IN three
months or less. He tired Of her, and tried
to shake her after time, but she would
not have it that way. She claimed that
she had become Stiyers's wife; and to es-
tablish here wifely relations she instituted
a suit against him for limited divorce
Stiyers set up defence that there had
been no marriage; and that il there had
been, the woman had been guilty of adul-
terry with Thomas Vincent Muir
ply, son of Ex-Collector of the
Port "Tom" Murphy, of New York.
1t was known that Rev. Dr. Deems had
married the woman to Siivers or one who
gave the name of Stiyers, and so that part
of the defence was destroyed. Keren
was put on the stand to testify that sub
sequently to the marriage she and Murphy
had stopped at Taylor's hotel together
Murphy had himself been on the stage
with John t. Raymond who was an
especial friend of his father Clerk Keren
testified that one night in October last,
the woman and Murphy came to the
hotel; that they were registered as man
and wife, and remained six days. Tais
testimony turned the tables on ''Mrs.
Stiyers,' and the Court at once ended her
suit for divorce against the man whom she
claimed for husband by ordering a
decree of divorce in his favor against

BROOKLYN, May FIX Alderman James
Dunno, and an expire fighter, was tiued
$3.50 to-day by Justice Walsh for striking
Police Inspector Kellar while calling
Property Clerk Muldoon to account for
something he had written. Dunne was

stepped to the clerks desk and counted
out the big fne from formidable roll OF

POISONED BIZ CANDY.
TWO Little children sick and the Maker
in Custody.

Charles Arzinger, manufacturer of

await the result of an illness which John
Yech and his sister Anna are suffering at
the home of their parents, 81 Clinton street,

TO live. The children are aged respsctivel y
three and four years, Anna, the eldest,
being a very pretty child. Friday after
noon the little boy had a cent to spent,
and he went to the candy store of Mrs.
Thaden across the street, and bought a
cents worth of candy. Mrs. Thad en- gave
him what is known as "Three
Yankee boys for cent" that
is, three candy figures pasted on
yellow strip of paper. About an hour
later both children were taken with violent
cramps. retching and vomiting. The pa
rents were at loss to know what was the
matter with the children, and they sent
for DR.. Steadman. He at once made mp
his mind that they had taken arsenic. Mr..
Yech then recollected The candy that the
children had eaten. The doctor at once
sent to the store ana bought some of the
candy. DR. Steadman made an examina-
ton and found that the adhesive mixture
which held the candy to the paper, con-
tanned some ingredient like arsenic. City
Physician Dr.. Helper was notified. He
decided that the candy contained arsenic,
and had Mrs. Tnadens stock Of it seized.
She said that she bought her candies of
Arzinger. DIR. Helper, after Analysing
the candy he came to the conclusion that
the paper, and not the candy contained
the arsenic. He learned that the boy ate
nearly all the paper as we'll as the candy,
and that the girl only ate small amount
of the paper The girl is slightly better,
and it is thought that she may recover.

series of bulglaries were committed in that

not could not be learned last night. Those
two experiences were sufficient for h i'm.
When ne had settled up all the embarrass-

to the Legislature. Both Houses passed
